Historic Scottish Castle for sale

Terpersie Castle is an historic Z-plan castle in Aberdeenshire, which once belonged to a branch of the Clan Gordon, the last representative of which to own Terpersie was hanged at Carlisle after the battle of Culloden.

The property is a miniature Z plan castle dating from the 1560s which, after spending most of last century in ruins, was restored during the 1980s. The castle comprises a rectangular main building with a round tower at each of two diagonally opposite corners. Accommodation is over three floors and comprises an entrance hall, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor; sitting room with open fireplace, laird’s room and a bedroom on the first floor and a bedroom suite, one more bedroom and family bathroom on the second floor.

Outside the gardens have large sweeping lawns flanked by colourful flower borders beyond which are walks through private woodland – grounds come to just under four acres.

The castle enjoys a peaceful location surrounded by open countryside and rolling hills in west Aberdeenshire. Alford is the main shopping centre and is located just three miles away; Banchory and Huntly are also nearby.

The guide price is £560,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 0131 222 9600 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
